2016 PICKUP TRUCK OF THE YEAR AWARD

LOS ANGELES January 19, 2016—FOUR WHEELER, the world’s leading 4×4 authority, has selected the Ram 1500 Rebel as the winner of its prestigious 27th annual Pickup Truck of the Year Award.

FOUR WHEELER’s Pickup Truck of the Year award program is an invitation-only shootout open to all-new or significantly revised pickup trucks for the upcoming model year. For 2016, the field of vehicles included four entries:

Chevy Colorado Z71, 2.8L I-4 turbodiesel

Nissan Titan XD PRO-4X, 5.0L V-8 turbodiesel

Ram 1500 Rebel, 5.7L V-8

Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, 3.5L V-6

FOUR WHEELER’s highly experienced judging staff thoroughly evaluates each vehicle in a variety of terrain and conditions ranging from 0-60-mph and quarter-mile acceleration and 60-0-mph braking distance at the racetrack to real-world situations on the highway, down backroads, in traffic, and, of course, through every off-road terrain imaginable. Vehicles are judged on a wide range of criteria, including off-road performance and survivability, interior appointments and amenities, quality of construction, and the ability to perform in rigorous off-road environments.

The Rebel’s impressive list of model-specific features includes a powdercoated front bumper with powdercoated billet silver skidplate; new front towhooks; new LED foglamps; new 17-inch wheels; 33-inch Toyo Open Country A/T tires; Power Wagon wheel arch moldings; blacked-out trim; an aluminum twin-snorkel sport hood; special blacked-out grille; tire-tread-pattern-embossed seats with custom stitching and embroidery; deep, all-weather rubber floor mats; Bilstein shocks; and an air suspension that is 1 inch taller than a standard Ram 1500 at default ride height.

The heart of the Pickup Truck of the Year–winning Rebel was the optional 5.7L V-8 engine, which produced 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque and was mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination, along with the traction-enhancing optional Anti-Spin rear differential, helped the Rebel earn the fastest 0-60-mph time (7.5 seconds) and the fastest quarter-mile time (15.8 seconds) of the four contenders. Judges praised the Rebel’s performance with positive comments, saying it was a “rocket” in the city and on the highway and it propelled the truck with “conviction.” Even with that impressive power, the Rebel returned an impressive best tank of 24.4 mpg.

“If there’s one word to describe the Ram 1500 Rebel, it’s balanced,” says FOUR WHEELER Editor Christian Hazel. “It has admirable towing and payload capacity, good on-road handling, brisk acceleration and strong braking, a comfortable interior with convenient storage and amenities, a smooth ride, and huge off-road capability in all terrains. No matter what FOUR WHEELER threw at the Ram 1500 Rebel, it just flat-out worked with no drama, no excuses, and no compromises. And that’s why the Ram 1500 Rebel was the vehicle the FOUR WHEELER judges overwhelmingly chose not only as the 2016 Four Wheeler Pickup Truck of the Year, but the vehicle they’d most like to take home if they had the chance.”
